Samsung laptop won't boot from hard drive. The computer requires a boot disk. Booting a Samsung laptop from disk

Hello admin, a question for you: How is this happening? I read your article “”, it explains how to get into the boot menu of laptops from various manufacturers. Concerning Samsung laptop, you need to press the Esc or F10 key immediately after turning on the laptop and a boot menu will appear in which I can select the laptop drive, press Enter and that’s it. I do everything as you wrote, but in the boot menu you can only select HDD laptop. I went into the laptop BIOS, into the BOOT parameter, then Boot Device Priority (device boot priority) and there again only the laptop hard drive. Why is this so, please explain.

Booting a Samsung laptop from disk

I'm correcting myself, friends, I didn't finish the article a bit. If you bought new laptop Samsung, naturally it has the latest Windows 8 operating system installed. The BIOS in this laptop is slightly different, called Aptio Setup Utility, it is a kind of hybrid, that is, a transitional option between a simple BIOS and the fundamentally new UEFI interface that is replacing it. If you decide boot samsung laptop from boot disk or for example, you want to remove Windows 8 and install Windows 7 instead (in my opinion in vain), take a few simple steps.

  • Note: If you need to boot a Samsung laptop from a flash drive, in addition to everything that is written in the article, you need to additionally enter the Advanced section and set the Fast BIOS Mode parameter to Disabled.
Installation operating system, on new Samsung laptops, is prohibited in the BIOS using the option " Secure Boot". The "Secure Boot" option is enabled by default, so you can't just boot a Samsung laptop from a disk or flash drive. To boot a Samsung laptop from a disk, you need to enter the BIOS (press F2 when booting) and set this option to " Disabled", will appear next additional parameter“OS Mode Selection” set it to the “CMS OS” or “UEFI and Legacy OS” position, press F10 (this saves the settings we made) and exits the BIOS. The laptop reboots, press F10 when loading, we get to the boot menu, in which we select the laptop drive, the Samsung laptop boots from the disk. Now everything is detailed and with screenshots! To boot a Samsung laptop from a disk or flash drive, turn on the laptop and immediately press the F2 key to enter the BIOS. Go to the Boot section,

Here we find the option “Secure Boot”, use the arrows on the keyboard to highlight it

And press “Enter”, select “Disabled”

And press “Enter” again. A warning appears that the computer may boot with an error. We agree, press Enter on the keyboard.

Here, just below, an additional parameter “OS Mode Selection” appears, select it and press “Enter”,

Select the position “CMS OS” or “UEFI and Legacy OS” and press “Enter”.

Once again a warning appears that the computer may boot with an error. We agree, press Enter.

A reboot occurs, immediately press F10 and get into the boot menu, select the laptop drive in it, and the Samsung laptop boots from the disk.

If suddenly, for some reason, you cannot get into the boot menu of the laptop, then change the boot device priority directly in the BIOS. We go into the BIOS, go to the Boot section, then the option Boot device Priority,

after our changes, the disk drive will appear here, set it as the first boot device, then press F10 (save the changed settings)

And reboot. After rebooting, your Samsung laptop will boot from the disk.

Let me remind you once again, to boot a Samsung laptop from a flash drive, go to the Advanced section and set the Fast BIOS Mode parameter to Disabled, then F10 (save changes) and reboot.

So, let's continue the conversation about returning laptops to factory condition. Today we will talk about restoring laptops from Samsung. Traditionally, before describing the recovery procedure, I strongly recommend that you read the article if you have not done so previously.

It must be said that the recovery mechanism for Samsung laptops is somewhat different from similar tools used by most other manufacturers of mobile computers, in which the hard drive is completely formatted, after which data is loaded onto it from the recovery partition.

In Samsung laptops, everything happens almost the same, but there is a slight difference.

When you turn it on for the first time mobile computer produced by Samsung, we are offered to partition the hard drive into two logical drives: C and D. This procedure is performed only once. After a system restore, it does not happen again. Therefore, strictly speaking, a 100% return to factory condition is not provided.

All recovery procedures affect only drive C. You can either format drive D yourself or use it to store data from drive C. After restoring the system, you can get it back.

Well, if the operating system is in such a state that it can no longer boot, use the article’s recommendations to save data.

To start the system resuscitation procedure from the recovery partition immediately after turning on the computer, you need to start clicking on the F4 button. In addition, some models may have a functional recovery button used in conjunction with the Fn key.

But the F4 method is universal and also requires pressing only one key, so it is simply more convenient. But I leave this up to your discretion. The end result is important to us.

If everything is done correctly, the utility splash screen will appear on the screen Samsung Recovery Solution. We stop pressing the buttons and wait.

After some time, we will be asked to familiarize ourselves with the text of the agreement. We read it and accept it if we want to move forward.

We will be offered a set of available actions to choose from. Select the “Recovery” item.

From the available options, select “Full recovery”.

A list of available system backups will appear. If there are several, choose the earliest one. It is automatically created by the system when you first start your computer. After that, click "Next".

We will be warned that all data will be destroyed. Since we assume that you have already saved all the required information, click Yes.

Preparations for the operation will begin full recovery laptop.

After this, the recovery procedure itself will begin. It takes some time. Be patient.

When completed, the following message will appear on the display:

Click OK. The computer will reboot and preparations for the first launch will begin. Do not touch or press anything. If the laptop starts to reboot again, then this is necessary. Don't bother him. You need to wait until the following message appears on the display:


Its appearance means that the recovery procedure is completed and the operating system is in first run mode.

That's all. Now you know how to restore Samsung laptops to their original condition.

Your computer did not want to turn on and demanded boot disk? And yet when you inserted it, it didn’t load it? If the computer requires a boot disk, then try resetting BIOS settings for factory condition. You can do this in the following two ways- firstly, you can open the computer case and take out the battery for 15 seconds (if you have a laptop) and next to it there will be a jumper that must be moved back and forth to the same position as it was.

What could be causing this problem:

  • Incorrect BIOS settings. You can reset them to the factory state by removing and then reinserting the BIOS battery after 15 minutes.
  • Errors in the operating system. Perhaps you really should insert a boot disk into your computer to use a special utility to correct all errors in the operating system.

The second way to reset the BIOS settings, if the computer requires a boot disk, is to press the Delete button while turning on the PC and the Load Optimized Defaults window will appear, which you need to click on, confirm the changes with the Save Exit Setup item, after which the computer reboots and, most likely, the problem will be eliminated. Our advice did not help you, and still the computer requires a boot disk? Then you should contact the highly qualified specialists of our service center who have an excellent understanding of your problem and will produce

If your laptop stops booting, you can start a system restore to get Windows booting again.
On your laptop you can use archive recovery and bootloader recovery.
If you are interested in the sequence of actions and possible recovery options, then let's move on directly to solving the problem at hand.

Is it possible to prepare in advance to restore Windows on a laptop?

1. When you start the laptop for the first time, the system will prompt you to create backup copy on your hard drive or external storage device. There is no need to refuse, especially since the creation wizard will promptly prompt you with all the necessary actions.
2. Do not disable the service windows recovery, although this will take up part of the hard drive.
3. It is necessary to carry out timely backup files using special programs included in the OS:
Start/All Programs/Maintenance/Backup and Restore (for Windows 7),
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Backup and Restore (for XP).
It is not advisable to store the backup copy on the hard drive of your laptop - it is safer to use a removable disk or DVD-R.

1. Return the system to factory settings.

Most self-respecting laptop manufacturers offer their products with an already installed operating system. At the same time, they create a special hidden section With software, allowing, if necessary, to restore the system by returning to factory settings.
Briefly this method looks like this:
1.1. you need to connect your laptop to the network,
1.2. turn it on and press several times a certain key or key combination set by the manufacturer by default (for example, for Samsung it is F4, for Lenovo, LG and HP Pavilion - F11, for Acer - Alt+F10),
1.3. In the window that appears, confirm system recovery and wait until the program completes its work.

This option will allow you to restore the system, but will not save the data - the laptop will be in the same condition in which it was brought from the store.

2. If the laptop starts to boot but displays an error message.

We restore windows system using additional download options.
Immediately after turning on the laptop, you need to press the F8 key several times.
As a result, a black “More download options” window will appear.

2.1. Select the “Troubleshoot your computer” option and go to the “System Recovery Options” menu.


(Picture 1)

3. Restoring the operating system on a laptop using a distribution disk.

We take the following steps:
3.1. Turn on the laptop and press the DEL key. A hint should appear on the screen indicating which keys can be used to enter the BIOS (usually F1 or F2),
3.2. In the BIOS we set boot priority from CD-R or DVD-R.
3.3. Press F10, thereby saving the changes in the BIOS settings.
3.4. Insert the distribution disk into the drive and press ENTER.
3.5. The laptop automatically reboots, then the installation program from the distribution disk starts.
3.6. In the window that appears, using a specific key (read the prompts on the screen carefully!), select “Restore a selected copy of windows.”


(Figure 2)
3.7. We are waiting for the installation to complete.

4. Recovery in the presence of a checkpoint

It is much easier to restore a Windows system on a laptop that is still booting, but already requires treatment.
Let's use the special System Restore service, which involves rolling back the system to an earlier state by selecting a Restore Checkpoint.
4.1 Click - “Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore”.
4.2 The recovery wizard will offer to select a checkpoint, highlighted in a special calendar in bold, will offer to close all programs in use and will perform the necessary actions.

Sometimes the system does not create enough restore points. This is due to the lack of space on the hard drive allocated for these purposes. You should increase the amount of space available for system recovery: Control Panel/System and Security/System/Advanced system settings/System Properties/System Protection tab.

In special cases

What should I do if the attempt to restore Windows fails and the laptop still does not work?
You can try to save necessary information by connecting hard laptop disk through a special matching device to another computer. Since these steps require disassembling the laptop, it is better to entrust them to specialists.
